Course Descriptions

Focusing on issues in epistemology, ontology, philosophy of
religion and freedom, ethics, political and social
philosophy, and philosophy of art, this course introduces
students to the most important questions that have
preoccupied Western philosophers and to representative
attempts by those philosophers to answer those questions.
The course will also consider significant contributions to
the discussion of those questions by experts from other
fields, such as physics and biology. Students will be
encouraged to examine and revise their own philosophical
positions or beliefs.
